health consequences. Information communication technology has been a regular part of life at

home and in the workplace. In nursing, the application of technology is an integral part of

healthcare. The profession expects nurses to develop competencies in informatics. Nursing

students and nurses should understand the benefits, nature, and impact of participating in social

networking of all types.

My Posts that Might be Considered Inappropriate Based on the Professional Standards of

Nursing

Patient privacy and confidentiality is a fundamental ethical and legal obligation of nurses.

Nurses must observe confidentiality and patient privacy at all times, and especially on online

platforms. As a nursing student, I had shared individually patient information on Facebook.

Although I did not post his name or image on the timeline, the communication did not protect

that person's identity. I have also used social media to express my feelings. I once used social

media to describe my patient's condition, which I think is not appropriate according to the

nursing profession. I have also witnessed other students disclosing their patients' condition

online, including information on the health facility in which they work. Nurses who interact with

a patient in any media platform should observe ethically patient-nurse professional boundaries.

Before posting anything online, nurses and nursing students should evaluate all their

communication with the view that a colleague, patient, employer, or an educational institution

could potentially view those conversations (Jackson et al., 2014).

SOCIAL MEDIA AND NURSING PROFESSION 3

Why Nurses have a Responsibility to uphold a Standard in their Personal Lives

Nurses have a responsibility and duty to remain professional at the workplace. Patients

seek treatment for the benefit of their health; the nurses have the right to keep their information

private. There is a right to autonomy for all people; as nurses, we should respect the individual's

rights. Online behavior and content can enhance or undermine the individual nurse's career and

the nursing profession. Nurses should observe conduct that aligns with standards governing the

nursing profession as their communication can threaten the patient's health, the right to privacy

concerning health information and their welfare. The online conduct of nurses may raise legal

concerns or be professionally unethical (Edge, 2017). Nursing elements involve different

vulnerable moments, forcing patients to entrust their lives and dignity to another person. As

such, there is an obligation to observe the governing standards. For example, a nurse who comes

across their patient's medical information should not devolve this information to a third party.

How personal conduct can violate HIPAA or be considered unethical or unprofessional

The nature of how people use social media can cross the boundaries of appropriate use.

Personal conduct can interfere significantly with HIPPA . Social media has much influence on the

way people seek to express themselves; the right to disclose public opinion has distorted people's

view of what entails private individuals. For example, people use social media to impose social

viewpoints or argumentative behaviors (Edge, 2017). These passionate views of expression can

be harmful or disrespectful. According to professional ethics, these activities do not reflect the

nursing profession positively and thus unprofessional. Ethical conduct can be through showing

many details about the patient's diagnosis.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND NURSING PROFESSION 4

Areas of my social media activity that reflect Christian values related to respecting human

values and dignity

Social media activity should always remain respectful and reflective of your professional

career. We still are acting as a component of our workplace, which requires appropriate tact. As

far as reflecting Christian values, my posts are pretty comparable because the posts display

positive attributes. For instance, all the platforms of use include kind words, spiritual reminders,

and responsibility. The conversations revolve around respecting others' opinions and avoiding

argumentative behavior to uphold others' human values and dignity. Particular areas of

improvement do not appear to be an issue because I keep a close discerning eye on what reflects

my character and maintain professional and personal separation. However, there is a need to

improve social media to include educational resources and tools to support skill development.
